According to the latest survey on the banking system made by the Bank of Albania, private banks in the country have a moderated market power regarding the level of competition between them. By using the Lerner Index which measured the capabilities of 15 private banks in the country, the Central Bank came to the conclusion that the ability of banks to set prices for services and products is at average levels.
The indicator of this index resulted to 0.48, an average level of the index which ranges from a high of 1 to a low of 0. The higher the number, the greater the market power of a bank or a banking system. The measurement of this indicator was based on the total of banks’ assets for the period of 2004-2014, on the prices offered by banks and bank’s marginal cost.
For the period of 2005-2009, the Lerner Index measurement resulted at low levels, showing a higher level of competition in the banking system at that time. In 2009, the index number reached its lower point, while in the years that passed it increased. This shows that banks took power to set prices for their products and services and as a consequence the competition decreased.
This has also been affected by the increase of banks’ assets prices and the increase of insecurity in the market during the economic crisis that started in 2008. The economic crisis has dimmed the competition in the banking system, says the Lerner Index.

they are talking about on the net. You definitely know how to bring a problem to light
and make it important. More people need to read this
and understand this side of the story. It’s surprising you aren’t more popular
given that you surely possess the gift.

My programmer is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP.
I have always disliked the idea because of the costs. But he’s
tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on numerous websites for about a year and am anxious about switching to another platform.
I have heard fantastic things about blogengine.net.
Is there a way I can import all my wordpress posts into it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog
and was wondering what all is needed to get setup? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a
pretty penny? I’m not very web savvy so I’m not 100% certain. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I’m amazed, I have to admit. Rarely do I encounter a blog that’s equally educative and entertaining,
and without a doubt, you have hit the nail on the head. The issue
is something which not enough people are speaking intelligently about.
I’m very happy that I stumbled across this in my search
for something relating to this.

compatibility issues. When I look at your website in Chrome,
it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping.
I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, fantastic blog!
